Clear, dark crimson-colored, slim head.In the nose: malt-forward, dark fruits, raisins, plums.
In the mouth: Fruit notes dominate. Mostly malty, a kiss of caramel, and just enough hops. Medium bodied, leaning toward light. Swift finish. Some of the classic hallmarks of Belgian-style ales seem to be in attendance, but not enough, and lacking any vigor or verve.
This year's SnowStorm is a good beer, and you can drink it. But I wish it was a little bit more.
As every Midwesterner knows, no two snowstorms are ever alike. This year’s rendition is moderately malty with notes of biscuit and a subtle fruitiness.
You know what? Reading the above, thinking about Schell's, who they are, where they are, and what they do, I wonder to myself what I thought they were going to make. Did I expect a Trappistes Rochefort or something? It's a nice beer, it's tasty, it goes down easy. And there ain't nothing wrong with that.
